April 26, 201214 yr I will be at the BAM conference at the Missouri State Fair Grounds My 3 - 6. Who else is going?
April 26, 201214 yr I won't be able to go, but I have demonstrated at the BAM Conference back in 2002 or 2003. And I would encourage anyone that can go and wants to learn more about this craft to attend. They are one of the largest and most involved groups out there, and they have some very talented members and get some great demonstrators from all over the world.
April 26, 201214 yr We are driving down from mn on wed. Will have the umba dvds and a new peter wrong anvil
April 27, 201214 yr We will be there Wednesday evening too in order to start setting up first thing on Thursday morning. Roger, are you camping or staying in a motel? - Bernie
April 27, 201214 yr Got tired of being rained on and staying at the Super 8 with the semi civilized folks
April 27, 201214 yr I'll be there with 2 or 3 power hammers, some hand forged Arm & Bammer soap to sell, and some stuff ot make some killer baked beans. MOblacksmith0530 and I decided we want to cook and socialize a little more this year, maybe a little midnite madness. Might be 4 ph's in one small spot. Don't miss the action.
April 27, 201214 yr Glad to hear about midnight madness it gets pretty dead some years after sun down. Bringing a bicycle in case I see a new tail gater pulls In across the building
April 27, 201214 yr Yeah, that sounds good Phil, looking forward to it. Roger, I hear what you are saying, wouldn't be BAM without the rain. -_- We're bringing the RV, so the rain shouldn't bother us too bad.
April 28, 201214 yr Author Brian, i wish that you could be there. I will be staying at the super 8 also, hope to meet you all at the conference. I know of 1 other member that will be there. There will be pic's here when I can get them up.
April 28, 201214 yr Gonna bring the grill and have a ton of Venison Brats to grill in the evenings except Saturday.
April 29, 201214 yr I've got a surprise I'm bringing with me. It's not somrthing to eat . Something I've been wanting to do for years.
April 29, 201214 yr I've got a surprise I'm bringing with me. It's not somrthing to eat . Something I've been wanting to do for years. Gee thanks Phill. Now I'll be awake nights for a week just wondering. <_<
April 29, 201214 yr Author I've got a surprise I'm bringing with me. It's not somrthing to eat . Something I've been wanting to do for years. At least you should be easy to find, Can't afford a PH but I will be looking for some new toys, I mean tools. I will have to see if I can bring something.
April 30, 201214 yr For you guy and gals that don't know MOblacksmith0530 and I just look for a tall guy & a wide guy hanging around some freshly painted power hammers.
April 30, 201214 yr Phil There is a problem with the description of the wide guy as there will be a lot of them to pick from
April 30, 201214 yr Roger no one will ever mistake you for me or vise-a-reversa. Take that however you want, I don't come to your jurisdiction. Thomas, no pink hammers but they are not the same old green or gray. Are you coming?
April 30, 201214 yr I wish. Went to Brian's last week and the trip down to Bryan, TX to the Lee Brother's Extravaganza will most likely be my big trips for the year. Sounds to be a good one tho.
May 7, 201214 yr Just got home from a great time nice to see old friends and make some new ones. We had 3 LG's on hammer row. My surprise was the green 25# ran by a 19944 modl IHC LB gas engine. I hope I can get the pics on.
May 7, 201214 yr Now That's cool Phil! looks like you had good weather too. I know I missed a good conf., BAM really knows how to put on a show!
May 7, 201214 yr Author I really liked that hammer and engine. It started very easy and like the sign says there was no smoke!
